HANNOVER, Germany April 25, 2017: The machines that make up a modern factory create more than just sweatshirts or submarines. They create lots and lots of data. This data can tell you everything from how efficient the machine is to how likely it is to break. For plant managers, being able to see and act on this data is key. It holds the secrets to new product introduction velocity, real-time and dynamic optimization, and productivity stats at the worker level. It even allows access to a so-called product pedigree' so customers can track a product across the supply chain.
To help plant managers tap into that data, Cisco is introducing three new solutions to the Connected Factory portfolio. In doing so, we are laying the foundation for Industrie 4.0.; and our own Digital Network Architecture, or DNA, is powering it. Welcome to the next generation of smart manufacturing.
Time Sensitive Networking is now supported on the IE4000 Switch family: A new standard that protects the data and ensures those mission critical applications are running smoothly on the network. And, what you purchase today will work with new applications tomorrow.
Connected Asset Manager (CAM) for IoT Intelligence: Not looking for just another visualization tool? This one is unique. It can extract data from a variety of sources and tie together multiple existing data threads in the plant across today's legacy system siloes. Oh, and it's also open and analytic-engine agnostic. Reporting is easy just drag and drop data in a simple interface.
Industrial Network Director: Made with operators in mind not just IT. It gives factories full control of the plant network. You can also set-up faster and risk less downtime. Plus, it offers true plug-and-play functionality. Install your managed switch and rest assured that the proper security, settings, and functionality are set. No manual programming required.
Data must be actionable. Cisco Connected Factory brings the power of data across the manufacturing siloes of today. Our solutions provide full visibility, with a focus on three things:
Simplicity: Use Cisco's trusted network to connect everything and get the most out of your factory floor.
Security: Avoid the front page of the newspaper, our security solutions have you covered.
Better intelligence: The more you know, the faster you can act. We get the information in the right hands.
As the leader in IT across multiple industries, our rich history gives us a unique lens into the manufacturing world. We understand that a smart network is necessary to get to the right' data, and we know the impact that kind of insight has into the business. Together, with our growing list of ecosystem partners Cisco can help manufacturers make the most of their factories.
Bryan Tantzen, Sr. Director, Manufacturing and Connected Industries, Cisco: A recent survey by industry analyst firm ARC Advisory Group[1] announced that Cisco is number one in worldwide marketshare for managed industrial switches. With customers moving to smart factories, we're rapidly outgrowing our competitors. Manufacturers can rest assured that Cisco's strength in manufacturing, along with decades of networking and security expertise in the enterprise, has uniquely qualified us to follow suit in the factory. With our leading industrial partners, we bring the best of IT and operational technology to the table. We make Industrie 4.0 a reality.
